As noted, at 3 p.m. Oct. 3, the Ukrainian military deployed outside Petrivske village in the area of Mariupol were ordered to move out to certain positions under the disengagement agreement, with OSCE observers, JCCC officials and Mariupol sector command being in place to monitor the process.

Immediately thereafter, the opposing side launched an UAV. Neither the Ukrainian side nor the OSCE launched drones, the statement reads.

After that, from 4:02 p.m. till 4:08 p.m., Ukrainian positions outside Petrivske were attacked with automatic grenade launchers and small arms. This attack was recorded by representatives of the OSCE and the JCCC, while the troop withdrawal was thwarted.
